Dear Hayden,

Tonight you completed your first year of girl scouts through a bridging ceremony. You are no longer a Daisy; now you are a Brownie!

We had such an amazing year in Girl Scouts, Hayden! You earned all 10 daisy petals, had a campfire cookout at our house, made blankets and delivered them to Project Linus to be distributed to children in times of need, toured a fire station, spent a day at girl scout camp in Payson, sold 195 boxes of cookies, hiked and went to a father/daughter dance with your dad, packed a whole bunch of meals for Feed My Starving Children, and had more silly fun than I can possible note here!

You’ve grown so much through Girl Scouts this year, too, Hayden. The most significant thing that I saw this year was the way your troop really embraced the “sister to every Girl Scout” aspect of being a Girl Scout. The eight girls in your troop are so close.

I am looking forward to whatever Girl Scouts brings our way in the future. It’s been such an amazing experience!

Love you,
Mama
